First, since I happen to be wearing a new cotton lace blouse and a cotton belt, I figured this would be a good opportunity to remind you to keep voting in Cotton's Road to the Runway. We're down from 48 to 24 finalists, and the remaining contestants need your help in deciding who will be accompanying us to South Beach for Cotton's 24 Hour Runway Show. Secondly, I finally got a haircut! So friends and family who have been listening to me threaten to shave my head on a daily basis, fret not. That urge has been suppressed.

I often get comments about how I should wear my hair down more often. You're not the only ones who think that; my friends and family are always on my case about it, too. I have this weird thing about wearing my hair down - I don't like the feeling of hair on my neck, so I end up putting it in an updo halfway through the day or sooner. I'm a little strange, what can I say? But since I just got my hair cut and colored (by Tim and Flores at Arrojo), I've decided to wear it down a little more often. It feels a lot lighter without all the extra length, and the shorter layers up top make it so that I can roll out of bed and it will still look cool. Hooray for haircuts!

love the layers! and the pretty lace/vampy lip with your dark hair. i feel ya on the hair thing..my old neighbor even wrote in my yearbook- wear your hair down! haha like we look that bad with it up?! my horrible nickname from my dad as a teen, "ball" for the pouf always on top of my head.

Love the cut and the color :) So cute and edgy. Trust me though, suppress the urge to shave it.. way, way down. I shaved the side of my head a long time and while I LOVED it, it's a bitch and half to grow back.

Love the hair! I know just what you mean, if I am leaning over paperwork or a project I absolutely cannot stand to have my hair down! I usually bun it with a pencil so when I take it back down I don't have awkward creases.Love the layers!

I kind of had a tweensy freak-out when I read the title, I was hoping you didn't chop off your raven locks, but... this hairstyle is BEAUTIFUL! (And don't ever joke about shaving your head haha)Love, S
